What is the possibility of getting hired at AA having no internal recs? Is it bad to have recs from pilots that work at other airlines? Don't think I know anyone at AA.

Thanks

1. Good
2. Other airlines are fine but internal is better.

Last flying gig? Rank? How many hours in the last year? What’s the plan if you don’t get hired ASAP? Hopefully it starts with “get a 121 regional job...”

What’s the usual time frame of getting the CJO or the TBNT email?

Anyone have more detailed information on what would be acceptable proof or verification of prior flying jobs with companies no longer in business? Pay stubs? Co-workers phone number, IRS document proving employment?

Seems that most hear back within 24 hours of leaving the interview. Occasionally, it takes longer. For me, it was 3 weeks later but still good news at least.

900+ Probably for the next how many years. Kudos to the training dept, quite a feat!

Don’t sweat this. A lot of guys have flown for companies that have gone out of business. Some are required to have a custodian of records after they cease operations. This will not be a problem for you.

For anyone interested, here are the final numbers for 2018...

Yes. 940. There were a number of very vocal people on here that strongly disagreed with me when I stuck with the 900 forecast.

Seeing is believing. . .

That’s strange. With retirements ramping up, going into section 6, and Parker’s stated goal of growth to match GDP why is hiring decreasing? I bet they are planning on zero growth or a slight contraction.
